Corbin Carroll Returns to Arizona's Lineup Against White Sox
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) is officially back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Sean Burke at Chase Field, playing right field and batting in the two-hole, according to MLB.com. The D-backs pulled Carroll in Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays with lower-back tightness, but it was just a precaution, and he's back in action after Monday's day off. Fantasy managers are going to want to get the former National League Rookie of the Year back in their starting lineups for the week. The 25-year-old two-time All-Star is one of the best all-around fantasy contributors when he's healthy, and he's off to a great start in 2026, slashing .300/.390/.600 with a .990 OPS, three home runs, 16 RBI, 15 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 70 at-bats across 20 games played. Carroll has never faced Burke in his MLB career.

Scottie Scheffler is Starting to Hit His Stride
After back-to-back second-place finishes, Scottie Scheffler is eyeing his next victory. If it weren't for the slow starts that have plagued nearly every event since his win at the AMEX, there is no telling how many victories he would have converted to this point. Just as it has been for three years, there are no glaring weaknesses in the former Longhorn's game, as he leads the PGA Tour in total strokes gained average (2.049). The accuracy issues have seemingly been resolved, and he is making more birdies than anyone else in professional golf. He'll undoubtedly be the favorite when he tees it up next week in Miami.

Brooks Koepka Looking for Progress in PGA Return With Partner at Zurich Classic
In a year full of scenarios we never thought we would see Brooks Koepka in, the five-time major champion is making the start in New Orleans this week with a somewhat unlikely partner, Shane Lowry. The duo is arguably the strongest team in this week's field, as both men have turned in solid finishes over the last month and a half. Koepka has averaged 0.965 strokes gained on approach over his last four events played. The only real fall off has been on and around the green, but it hasn't been such a detriment that it isn't allowing him to score. If he and Lowry pair as well together in reality as they do on paper, it could be a chance at a much-needed victory for Koepka.

Matt Fitzpatrick Looks to Share Recent Form at Zurich Classic
With two wins in his last three starts, Matt Fitzpatrick is likely the hottest player in the game right now. He's climbed to third in the OWGR and is taking his talents to New Orleans this week to team up with his brother, Alex, in the Zurich Classic team event. The 31-year-old is now ranked third on the season in strokes gained from tee to green (1.725), thanks to red-hot ball striking and a temperamental putter that thrived en route to his victory in Hilton Head on Sunday. He should be able to do plenty on his own to keep his team afloat, if not vie for another win.

Jonathan Isaac Unlikely to Play in Game 2
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's Game 2 against Detroit as he continues working back from a left knee sprain. He has not played in over a month and remains limited in practice, making a return in this series unlikely. Isaac's absence does not significantly alter Orlando's rotation, with Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. continuing to handle frontcourt minutes. Jamal Cain could stay in the mix for depth minutes, though his role remains small. Fantasy impact is negligible, with no clear shift in usage across the core group.

Mark Williams Could Sit Again in Game 2
Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against Oklahoma City after missing Game 1 due to a sore left foot. His absence left Phoenix thin inside, with Oso Ighodaro starting and recording nine rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes, while Khaman Maluach added three rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench. Ighodaro would likely start again if Williams sits and should help on the glass, though his production outside of that is limited. Devin Booker and Jalen Green should continue to lead the offense, while the center spot is mostly a low-usage, role-based position.

Grayson Allen Questionable for Game 2
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against Oklahoma City after being listed on the injury report in recent games but not seeing the floor. He was available for Game 1 but logged a DNP-CD, leaving his role unclear even if cleared. With Jordan Goodwin (calf) also questionable, Phoenix could lean on Royce O'Neale, who posted four points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, three assists, and one block in 23 minutes, while Ryan Dunn added five rebounds in 25 minutes. Both are candidates for larger roles and carry DFS appeal if Allen remains limited. Devin Booker and Jalen Green should continue to anchor usage.

Jordan Goodwin Iffy for Game 2
Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against Oklahoma City after exiting early in Game 1 with left calf soreness. He logged just five minutes before leaving, opening the door for rotation shifts. Royce O'Neale played 23 minutes off the bench and finished with four points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, three assists, and one block, while Ryan Dunn added five rebounds in 25 minutes. O'Neale is a strong candidate to start, with Dunn and Haywood Highsmith in line for larger roles and DFS appeal if Goodwin sits. Devin Booker and Jalen Green should continue to handle primary usage.

Andy Pages Gets Rare Off Day in Midst of Hot Streak
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages will head to the bench for a rare off day on Tuesday night. The hot-hitting Pages will head to the bench after starting in every game this season. Through 22 games, Pages is slashing .370/.416/.605 with five home runs, 21 RBI, and four steals. The right-handed slugger currently leads the league in hits (30) and RBI. Fantasy managers should pull him out of their lineups on Tuesday, but he should return for Wednesday's game. Alex Call will take over in center field and bat eighth versus right-hander Landen Roupp.

Billy Donovan Exiting as Bulls Head Coach
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan is leaving the organization after six seasons, according to Shams Charania. Chicago finished 31-51 and missed the playoffs, signaling a likely reset across the roster and coaching staff. A new coach could shift roles and usage, putting players like Josh Giddey and Anfernee Simons in different spots offensively. Collin Sexton may benefit from more on-ball opportunities depending on the system, while Patrick Williams' role could also be reevaluated. Fantasy managers should monitor early rotation patterns closely once a replacement is in place.

Freddie Freeman Activated, Returning to Lineup on Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was activated from the paternity leave list on Tuesday. Freeman is back in the lineup after missing the last two games while being away from the team for family reasons. He will slide into the three-hole and bat third against right-hander Landen Roupp on Tuesday. Dalton Rushing, who covered first base on Monday, will move behind the plate for Tuesday's game. Through 20 games, Freeman is slashing .296/.360/.519 with three home runs and 14 RBI this season. Fantasy managers need to double-check their lineups and make sure Freeman is active ahead of first pitch.

Ron Harper Jr. Available for Game 2 Against 76ers
Boston Celtics forward Ron Harper Jr. (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 2 against Philadelphia after being listed probable. He saw just four minutes in Game 1, finishing with five points and one three-pointer in garbage time, and remains outside the playoff rotation. With Boston at full strength, Harper is unlikely to carve out meaningful minutes, limiting any fantasy relevance to the deepest formats. Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Payton Pritchard should continue to absorb backcourt run, while Harper is essentially a depth option who would likely only see minutes if the game turns into a blowout.

Brandon Lowe is Day-to-Day with Knee Issue
Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe (knee) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It's unclear when Lowe suffered the injury, but he'll miss his second straight game due to left knee discomfort. Pirates manager Don Kelly said Lowe is trending in the right direction and is hopefully available to come off the bench on Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, it doesn't sound like Lowe will require a trip to the Injured List. Nick Gonzales will bat seventh and cover second base against right-hander Kumar Rocker on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for another update on Lowe.

Matthew Boyd to be Activated and Start on Wednesday
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (biceps) will be activated from the 15-day Injured List on Wednesday. The veteran southpaw is set to be activated and return to the mound for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Boyd is back in the mix after missing over two weeks due to a left biceps strain. He made one rehab start, throwing 64 pitches last Thursday with Triple-A Iowa. The assumption is that Boyd will have a fairly normal workload on Wednesday. Boyd was hit around on Opening Day, but looked better in his second start of the season. The veteran southpaw should be rostered in most 12-team formats.

Zack Wheeler to Make Season Debut on Saturday
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) is set to be reinstated from the 15-day Injured List on Saturday. The right-hander will make his season debut against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Wheeler has fully recovered from surgery to address venous thoracic outlet syndrome. He made his final rehab start with Double-A Reading, allowing four runs across four innings of work. The right-hander was able to throw a handful of rehab starts, so he figures to have a normal workload in his debut. Fantasy managers should double-check the waiver wire and make sure Wheeler isn't sitting around.

Jonathan Toews Undecided on NHL Future
Winnipeg Jets center Jonathan Toews hasn't yet decided if he will continue his NHL career in 2026-27. The three-time Stanley Cup champions returned from a two-year absence this season, appearing in all 82 regular-season games. He plans to think more about his future "in the next couple of weeks to a month." Toews, who will be 38 next week, had a career-low 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) this season, but he's happy with his comeback campaign. "I think if I'm being honest with myself and I look back to a couple of years ago where I was at, yeah, it definitely feels like a huge accomplishment," Toews said. "I'm very proud that I went after it and did what I could to get back to this level and to play in the NHL again." Toews may no longer be a significant fantasy factor, but he could still serve teams effectively in a bottom-six role if he decides to return for a 17th NHL season.

Jonathan Huberdeau Expects to Be Ready for Training Camp
Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau (hip) believes he will be available at the start of training camp in the fall. The 32-year-old underwent season-ending hip surgery in March. "That was probably one of the main reasons I kind of wanted to do it earlier, so I could be fully back next year," Huberdeau said. "I feel pretty good. It's been six weeks, so I think I'm just looking forward to getting back on the ice. It's been going pretty well right now, so hopefully it keeps going like that and I can be back on the ice in late June." Huberdeau's time in Calgary has been disappointing, and he was limited to 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 50 games this season. He has averaged fewer points only once in his 14-year NHL career. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a major improvement from Huberdeau in 2026-27.

Nathan Bastian Not Expected to Play Before Round 2
Dallas Stars right wing Nathan Bastian (hand) is not expected to return to the lineup in the playoffs until Round 2, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. Bastian is ready to resume skating and will travel with the team to Saint Paul for Games 3 and 4 against the Minnesota Wild this week, but he still needs more time to recover from a hand injury. Once he's healthy, Bastian would primarily add muscle to the lineup, having racked up 85 hits in 36 regular-season outings. On the offensive end, he tallied six goals and one assist.

Roope Hintz Doubtful for Game 4
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (lower body) is considered doubtful for Game 4 against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. After the teams split the first two games, the series will shift to Saint Paul on Wednesday, and Hintz hasn't traveled with the team. The Finnish forward has been nursing a lower-body injury since early March. Despite his absence, the Stars finished the regular season strongly. They also kicked into gear in Game 2 against Minnesota, with Wyatt Johnston, Hintz's replacement as the top-line center, scoring twice in the 4-2 victory.

Adam Henrique Won't Play in Game 2 Against Ducks
Edmonton Oilers center Adam Henrique (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's Game 2 against the Anaheim Ducks, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports. The veteran forward was injured in a collision with teammate Kasperi Kapanen on Monday night, when Edmonton kicked off the series with a 4-3 win. Curtis Lazar or Josh Samanski will replace Henrique on the fourth line. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch praised Samanski for his play on the line with Colton Dach and Trent Frederic late in the season. At the same time, Lazar would offer more experience and physicality.

Christian Scott to Join Mets, Will Start on Thursday
New York Mets right-handed pitcher Christian Scott is set to join the team's starting rotation on Thursday and will face the Minnesota Twins. Scott made his MLB debut during the 2024 campaign and posted a modest 4.56 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP over his first 47 1/3 innings. He struck out just 39 hitters. Scott would then miss the entire 2025 campaign after undergoing internal brace surgery. In camp, Scott logged six innings and flashed upside, striking out eight batters, but was sent to Triple-A Syracuse to further his workload. With the top level of the minor leagues, Scott had a rough debut, allowing six earned runs, but has bounced back since, logging 10 1/3 frames with a 1.74 ERA and a 12:2 K:BB over his last two outings. As a result, Kodai Senga will have his start pushed back, but will remain in the rotation. Scott's strikeout upside makes him a viable streaming target in deeper 12+ team leagues.

Victor Hedman Doubtful to Play in Round 1
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (personal) isn't expected to play during the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports. Before Tuesday's Game 2 against the Montreal Canadiens, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper told reporters Hedman's return is on "the doubtful side for this series." The Lightning captain has missed a month of action due to illness and personal reasons. With Hedman in and out of the lineup in 2025-26, Darren Raddysh has been outstanding in an expanded role all season on Tampa's blue line and also made a mark in Sunday's Game 1 against Montreal, scoring a power-play goal.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Charle-Edouard D'Astous (undisclosed) will miss Game 2 against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports. His absence isn't surprising, as D'Astous was injured in the series opener last weekend. On Monday, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper labeled D'Astous as doubtful for Game 2. Declan Carlile will slot into defense, making his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut. One of Carlisle's last appearances was against Montreal on April 9, where he racked up 17 penalty minutes. The 25-year-old is known for his physical style of play, finishing the regular season with 40 penalty minutes and 51 hits in 42 games.

Dalton Kincaid's Sell Window in Dynasty Formats May Be Closing Ahead of NFL Draft
Across 12 games in 2025, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid recorded 39 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets. While Kincaid had his most efficient season on a per-target basis, volume continues to be a major impediment to his fantasy production. Kincaid missed time with knee and hamstring injuries in 2025 and has been sidelined for nine contests over the past two seasons. Buffalo also limits Kincaid's snap counts even when he's active, as he played fewer than 50% of the team's offensive snaps in 10 out of his 12 outings in 2025. As a former first-round pick who has flashed upside at certain points throughout his first three NFL seasons, Kincaid remains a somewhat buzzy name in fantasy circles. However, Buffalo is reportedly considering a load management plan for Kincaid once again in 2026 as it works through ways to keep him healthy throughout the season. In dynasty formats, the window to sell relatively high on Kincaid may be slowly closing.

Alvin Kamara Remains a Top Dynasty Sell Candidate Ahead of NFL Draft
Veteran New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) had the least productive season of his career in 2025, recording just 657 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 164 touches across 11 games. The 30-year-old also finished the year on the sidelines after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 12. The Saints signed former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $52 million contract in free agency, seemingly bringing Kamara's time as the RB1 in New Orleans to a close. While Kamara has been an excellent receiving back throughout his career and could still provide some fantasy production in a third-down role, his dynasty value is obviously plummeting following the Saints' acquisition of Etienne Jr. If the Saints choose to further fortify the running back position in the upcoming NFL Draft, Kamara could find himself completely out of a roster spot in New Orleans. Dynasty managers may want to consider selling on Kamara now before his value drops even further.

Jordan James Offers Sneaky Buy-Low Potential Ahead of NFL Draft
A fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James spent his rookie season buried on the Niners' running back depth chart. James was slowed by a preseason injury and did not record a single carry during the regular season. However, the 22-year-old recorded six carries for 28 yards during the 49ers' NFC Divisional Round loss to the Seattle Seahawks and drew praise from San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan for the way he closed the year. Offseason reporting indicates that James could be the frontrunner to open 2026 as the primary backup to star 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. If that comes to fruition, James would be just one injury away from fantasy prominence. In dynasty formats, James profiles as a sneaky buy-low candidate whose value will likely gain traction following the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.

Jaylen Waddle a Top Buy-Low Candidate Heading into First Season in Denver
The Denver Broncos made wide receiver Jaylen Waddle one of the offseason's biggest trade acquisitions by sending three draft picks to the Miami Dolphins for him. Waddle bounced back from a down year in 2024 with strong production in 2025, recording 64 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns on 100 targets across 16 games with Miami. After former Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, Waddle had the advantage of being the clear number one pass-catcher in Miami. He could end up playing the same role in Denver, but the Broncos have other capable pass-catchers in wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, and Troy Franklin. Still, the upgrade in offensive environment from Miami to Denver should be a net positive for Waddle's fantasy production. In Waddle's last fully healthy season with an above-average offense in 2022, he recorded 1,356 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. In dynasty formats, Waddle has clear buy-low appeal ahead of his first season in Denver.

Blake Snell to Start a Rehab Assignment on Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell (shoulder) is scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Ontario in San Jose on Wednesday, weather permitting, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. It's positive news for Snell, but he will most likely need the full 30 days on his rehab assignment before the Dodgers are comfortable having him rejoin their big-league starting rotation following a bout with left-shoulder fatigue this spring. Despite shoulder injuries limiting the two-time Cy Young winner to 11 regular-season starts since the start of the 2025 season, Snell's high-strikeout upside makes him stash-worthy in all fantasy baseball leagues. He's currently rostered in 92% of Yahoo leagues. In his first year in L.A. in 2025, Snell had a strong 2.35 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 72 strikeouts and 26 walks in 61 1/3 regular-season innings before posting a 3.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 41:13 K:BB in his six playoff outings (five starts) on his way to a World Series ring.

Josh Downs a Top Buy-Low Candidate Ahead of NFL Draft
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs had a bit of a down year in 2025, recording 58 receptions for 566 yards and four touchdowns on 88 targets across 16 games. The Colts' 2025 draft-day acquisition of tight end Tyler Warren and the emergence of wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) both limited Downs' role in his team's offense. After averaging 7.6 targets per game in 2024, Downs averaged just 5.5 targets per game in 2025. While Warren and Pierce both remain in Indianapolis, the Colts traded away veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., who earned 111 targets last season. In Pittman Jr.'s absence, Downs should be in a position to play a more prominent role in the Indianapolis passing game. If the Colts do not add another big-name pass-catcher in the upcoming NFL Draft, Downs' dynasty value will almost certainly be on the rise. As such, now could be the best time for dynasty managers to buy low on Downs ahead of a possible bounce-back season.

Mike Evans a Sneaky Dynasty Buy Candidate Ahead of NFL Draft?
After spending the first 12 seasons of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, veteran wide receiver Mike Evans made headlines by signing with the San Francisco 49ers in free agency earlier this offseason. Injuries forced Evans to miss nine games in his final year with Tampa Bay in 2025. Across the eight games he was healthy for, the 32-year-old hauled in 30 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns on 62 targets. While Evans should no longer be expected to provide the same production he once did at his peak, he currently profiles as the clear number one wide receiver in the 49ers' passing game. Particularly with star 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) working his way back from a torn Achilles tendon, Evans could dominate targets early in the year in San Francisco. In dynasty formats, now might be the time for win-now managers to buy low on Evans before his value starts gaining momentum following the upcoming NFL Draft.
